With your symptams I would say it is gearbox oil requires changing, but why it needs to be connected to laptop deludes me. it can be a diy job but difficult. find a better garage. You might as well change filter at same time just in case.

Had`nt even considered that Peter. just had a run out but still urban max 50 mph roads and got 17+.

No there is no Haynes for the S Type. but it should be easy enough to change the , you may have to remove a few radiators first. Work shop manuals in cd form are available on this site. Stan

Changed my air filter a couple of weeks ago, with the hope of probabley getting more mpg. Wrong, for some reason my around town and rural driving has dropped. Any ideas guys. wondered if an additive might help. Stan.

You appear to have definatly gone off Jag Trevor.

:) :) :) Just had abs sensor replaced at my local garage (getting to old to do it myself) and they reset the system and removed messages. all for the magnificent fee of £10.00. working again Happy Bunny. :) :) :) I bought sensor off ebay.

Sounds to me it could be a misfire, seeing has it only does it under load, and not when cruising.

Last week my abs light came on and at the same time got message DSC fault. Fault traced to L/R WHEEL SPEED SENSOR.(I hope). good side is at the same time my cruise control started working which it has never done while I have owned it. I had just driven gentley down a kerb at the time. Stan.

I prefer the quiet mode myself. noisy cars are for the young and foolish, well young anyway. when I put my foot down nothing can be heard. Love it.

How ever did we manage without sensors Peter. Stan.

P 1576 is Pedal position not available. sounds to me like a sensor at the pedal end as opposed to throttle body. Stan

That is my intention next time I top up, it might be worth the extra cost for better performance and mpg . My local garage is BP but you get extra points if you have a Tesco card. I wonder what fuel they are using.

That is very interesting, I didn't realize that there was any difference. Will try the premium next time I fill up. I only usualy put in £30 at a time. no point dragging all that weight around on short trips.

And a Merry Christmas from me also.

Mine is less than half that Trevor in fact it is cheaper than the 1600 car I had previous to the Jag and so is the Insurance.

Where I live I get about 14mpg around town. From home to town in two miles I have two round a bouts and five sets of lights. not good if they are all at red. But do get 29/30 on a good run on Motorway.

My first car was in 1970. I also was a biker from age 16. had to many to recall. first car was a beatle , exported from Germany in 1947.no hydraulics just cables. Loved that VW.

My last Volvo,( I have had 3), was 21 years old, 2.3ltr Turbo Intercooler, and it was magic. not a bit of rust anywhere. passed mot every year no bother. wouldn't really like a new one though.

Defo a Volvo or perhaps a BMW.

Hi Stuart My first thought would have been Glow plugs Suprised you have not had more response from members. Good luck with it. Stan.

ps sorry about the spelling of Trevor

Like it Trever, but you do sail a little close to the wind ha ha.

How did Peter get date wrong.!!!!!!

Happy birthday Trevor. What a load of old grumpies you are. I have had my 78th birthday. and last week celebrated 55th wedding anniversary. but do I grumble, of course I do. and I use my bus pass occasionally. Have a nice day. Stan. PS. Jag is running well also.
